About the Book Can You Hear Me?

Can You Hear Me? is a tender, poetic story written for children who are grieving the loss of someone they love. Through gentle rhymes and soft illustrations, it offers a safe space to hold their sadness and their wonder—the quiet questions they may not know how to ask out loud.

Can they still hear me? Do they still see me? Are they still near?

Each page is a conversation—between a child and the one they miss—wrapped in the warmth of love that never really goes away. Whether it’s in the stars, the breeze, or a little ladybug landing nearby, this book gently reminds readers that connection doesn’t end; it simply changes form.

It’s more than a book—it’s a soft place to land, a way to feel less alone, and a loving reminder that the people we carry in our hearts are always, always with us.

 

Who It’s For

This story was written for the littlest hearts with the biggest feelings—children navigating grief, loss, or absence.

But it’s not just for kids.

Can You Hear Me? is for anyone who’s ever looked up at the sky and whispered a quiet hello. For those who believe in signs, in presence, in the way love shows up even when someone is gone. This book is for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want a gentle way to talk about grief. For adults who never got the story they needed when they were small.

Can You Hear Me? is a book to read together, to gift, to hold onto, and to return to—over and over again.

 

Why I Wrote This Book

I wrote this story for my daughter Aubrey. When her dad, Wes, passed away—the person we loved so deeply—I watched her carry questions that had no easy answers—questions that lived in quiet moments and tearful nights. I wanted her to know that her love still mattered. That her words were still heard. That the bond she had with her daddy didn’t disappear.

So, I started writing.

What began as a whisper of comfort became this book—a way to hold space for her grief and to give language to what so many children feel but can’t always say.

What began as a way to comfort Aubrey is now a gift of love for anyone missing someone they still carry in their heart.
